Synopsis

Excerpt from Men, Women Manners in Colonial Times, Vol. 2 In the days of Columbus and Verrazzano the shores of New York Harbor were shadowed by goodly oak-trees and inhabited by swarms of red men, who dressed in garments made of the feathers of birds, with strings of copper round their necks.

Product Description:

Excerpt from Men, Women Manners in Colonial Times, Vol. 2

It seems strange that the ancient Dutch occupation and the voyages of the Cabots and Hudson should become prafiical questions of modern times in a litigation of the New York elevated railways.
